Speaker 1 (00:00):
Top Shelf Stories with J, chris and Tony.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
Really what?
125 to 108.

Speaker 3 (00:26):
Yeah, that's 30.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
That's not 30, dude 17.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
It might as well have been 50.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
But once they know they're going to lose, you get
them last, like five, sixbuckets or just guys jumping
threes and saying fuck you,they're like all right, I guess
we'll put in the call.

Speaker 3 (00:45):
We're down by 20 points now.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
I guess we'll put in Lopez so he can sink 32 points
in threes.
You know it's over when theyput.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
Giannis' brother in the game.
Fuck the game's over, dude.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
There's eight minutes left.
Giannis' brother and Lopez'brother.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
You're like fuck.
They gave up.
Why do they even have theplayers if they never play and
they just I mean, you could justhave some people in the
audience go out there andfucking just play some
basketball.
They just know how to shoot andfinish the game up.
Why do they even have thoseplayers?

Speaker 2 (01:17):
So the last regular season game we went to me and
Chase sat right behind thebasket.
But at the tunnel where theywalk out Did you get an
autograph, like second row?
It was fucking cool man, but Iwatched the Bucs bench more than
I watched the game.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
Yeah, to see what they're fucking doing.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
Because it was fucking insanity.
Dude, did you know?
They made Robinopez sit on thegoddamn floor the whole game,
they didn't let him sit on thebench.

Speaker 3 (01:48):
That's kind of strange.
You say that because every timeI watch the the games, he's
always on the floor.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
I thought he just liked the floor to do his.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
He's got a bad back.
He tried high-fiving hisbrother and his brother wouldn't
even look at him.

Speaker 1 (02:02):
Why you're?
It's so weird, now you'remaking shit up.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
It's not no, for real .

Speaker 1 (02:06):
No, now you're making shit up I know like a lot of
these contracts are built in theway where, like, you got to pay
the guy anyways, so you justmake them fucking take in the
towels and be on the bench andsit on the floor.
But I don't know, dude that'spretty crazy.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
It was just I was that there were like five open
seats on the bench and they werestill making this dude sit on
the floor.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
I like in the NBA, the guys are so fucking tall,
especially like the old mancoaches, and their knees are
wrecked so their chairs are likedirector chair.
There's like three or fourcushions on them so that they're
like half standing on the bench.

Speaker 3 (02:44):
Well, you know it doesn't make sense is if you
ever watch a soccer game and alltheir chairs are fucking race
car seats from fucking race cars, yeah that is weird.
You ever watch the soccer game,their car, their seats are from
race cars.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
It's like a like a video gaming chair, but like
really for like an office desk.
But they're not on casters,they're just built in, they're
like on a bleacher situation andthe coaches kind of sit like
and and the players all sit likein bleacher cubby that doesn't
sound half bad no, it, no, itreally doesn't and they never.

Speaker 3 (03:18):
They never get out of them.
They're sitting there the wholetime not saying anything.
They already coached the wholegame up already no one fucking
cares.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
When I would play soccer, I would never sit down.
I would always be just berunning up and down the sideline
hoping the coach would put mein like I've spent whole games
in high school keep up withinhigh school just spending whole
games like getting up every likethree, four minutes, like I'm
worried enough to get in justbecause I want to just in Just
doing jumping jacks, Dude.
I did not get any playing time.

(03:46):
I was like Robin Lopez, dude.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
The coach didn't like me and I was on the bench.
Sit on the floor, kid.

Speaker 1 (03:51):
Oh, you didn't come from my conventional group of
friends' way of growing kids insoccer in West Allis.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
You went in when it was 8-0?

Speaker 1 (04:00):
Yeah, you just.
You're just over there joggingin place yeah, basically running
up and down the the sideline Idon't know so, looking back, I
realized I was not so since thisweek's episode is about quick,
like sports memories.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
There you go.
I uh, I went to the brewer gameon tuesday night.
Uh, did anybody watch it?

Speaker 1 (04:26):
I haven't been to a Brewers game in a really long
time.

Speaker 3 (04:29):
I also did not, why do you keep going to all these
local games?
All of a sudden, you are not asports fan.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
Apparently.
I'm being told by my family Iam, he's got a sports age sports
fan age child.
Well, the Brewers are my wife,my wife.
She's been like seven gamesalready she's that much of a fan
, I guess this happens I thinkshe likes the tailgating and
then she's like fuck well, shedoesn't tailgate, but I think

(04:57):
she wants to fuck one of theplayers I mean every woman wants
to fuck one of the players.
I'm like for real.
I can find you an obtainableDominican like tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (05:11):
Like stuff shooting for the stars here, you should
probably show up in somepolyester baseball uniform, you
know.
Go to Dunham Sports or whateverand get one made.
Put your name on the back.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
Yeah, I should, I should.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
Show up in her bedroom wearing that.

Speaker 3 (05:31):
Yeah, that's not a bad idea With some Milwaukee
Brewers underwear.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
You can throw it in, throw it in the mix, you can do.
Yeah, just the cup and the topand the socks.

Speaker 3 (05:43):
Dude.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
One glove like.

Speaker 3 (05:47):
MJ.
You won't have to last long atall, it should already come
before you get into the bed.

Speaker 2 (05:53):
Well, I don't think I'm a switch hitter, baby I
could slap ass from both sidesof the plate.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
Sorry, let's go here, catch the plate.

Speaker 2 (06:02):
Sorry, let's go here, catch but uh, so at this game,
like in the third inning, uh,the other team we were playing,
we were playing tampa bay rays.
Yeah, I don't even know theteams very well.
I didn't either.
I had to look up to see whatcity they were from, come on I.

(06:23):
I thought Rays was like thepotato chip company.
I'm like this advertising isgetting out of control.
Oh, so you?

Speaker 3 (06:31):
knew the name Rays, but you didn't know that.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
Yeah, because that's what it said on the big ass TV
in the outfield.
Okay, so they got this playeron there.
His name's actually Siri what.

Speaker 3 (06:45):
Yeah, it's spelled the same way s-i-r-i, that's his
last name.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
Oh okay, so this motherfucker came first like he
probably was there before sirifrom your iphone was there yeah,
probably I don't think so.
Look the dude up.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
I don't know how to I don't think so, look to do it
up.
I don't know how to I don'treally understand baseball stats
.
All right, uh, tell me, is heactually really good or not?
So this motherfucker, in likethe third inning, smashes a home
run first one of the game.
You know the wall's at like 400feet where it, where it drops

(07:23):
back, it's like 380 to get ahome run.
He, he hit it probably 470 feet.
He hit it up on one of theparty platforms.
Jesus, uh, three.

Speaker 3 (07:38):
They're short tiers, but it was like three tiers up
you were just at this game ontuesday, yeah, so yeah, he, uh.
His average is well the.
The brewers won eight to two,so they whooped their asses.
His average is a 1.186, uh, forthis season and two run home
runs, two rbis and 16 hits.
I don't, I don't.

(07:58):
Is that a good, probably notgood average?
I think I don't know.

Speaker 2 (08:01):
They're only like 25 games in and he's 28 years old
28.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
How old is Siri?
I bet you, that bitch is onlylike nine years old.

Speaker 3 (08:10):
You talk to her every day you fucking weirdo, oh yeah
.

Speaker 2 (08:14):
So he just cranks this ball out.
It was really impressive One ofhis two home runs and his next
time up to bat are.

Speaker 3 (08:24):
Got the answer.
How old Theory is?
From 2011.
So he's older.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
Yeah, you're right.
So his next at bat.
Our pitcher's last name isPeralta and the only reason I
remember that is because that'sthe lead character on Brooklyn
Nine-Nine and that's the onlyPeralalta I give a fuck about.
But this dude really gainedsome points at me because
instead of letting him get asecond home run in that game and

(08:51):
really embarrassing us, hebeamed him.
He beamed him in the fuckingleg, yeah he'll do that.
Peralta will do that it tookthis motherfucker like 20
minutes to gain his composure toget on the first base.

Speaker 3 (09:04):
Really it was it was the biggest he's trying to get
um peralta kicked out orsomething.

Speaker 2 (09:12):
So peralta gets kicked out and our manager gets
kicked out oh, really, oh, soyou got kicked out it turns into
like a five minute screamingmatch and, uh, they get ejected.
We get a new pitcher and, uh, Idon't know the name, the guy's
name, but it was like ubi orsomething, don't know, I don't

(09:33):
know anybody.
So the siri comes up again.
This hit him again.
This is his third at bat and Ithink he tried to hit him but he
walked him like on purpose andI guess our pitcher was yelling
shit at him while he wasthrowing balls and uh, siri was

(09:54):
yelling back.
And now he's taking his walkand he gets halfway to first
base and our pitcher runs up andpunches him right in the face
shut up.

Speaker 1 (10:03):
How come I didn't read about punches him right in
his?

Speaker 2 (10:06):
face like umpire, gets between them and he jumps
over the umpire, punches him inthe face.
What it clears how?

Speaker 1 (10:13):
close are you to this action?
Is it on the big screen?

Speaker 2 (10:16):
yeah, it was on.
Oh no, they didn't play it onthe big screen, but I did watch
it on twitter and I don't havetwitter, so it was really
awkward me like leaning over thewoman in front of me trying to
watch.
But uh, it cleared our benchand then the craziest thing

(10:36):
happened.
Then the outfield bullpens allcleared, ran all the way to the
to the thing like this was likea five, I think I did read about
the all-out brawl yeah, it was.
Every everybody was scrapping.
It was intense, man, it waslike one of the best sporting

(10:56):
events I ever been to baseballis crazy like that like on the
ground.

Speaker 1 (11:01):
First base hoskins flips to your rebate doesn't
sound one up, one down.
Siri retired.

Speaker 3 (11:08):
He didn't punch him in the face.

Speaker 1 (11:10):
Siri exchanging some words, and here we go.

Speaker 3 (11:14):
Oh, he did.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
So Jay's watching this, I'm not either.
Okay, so the pitcher Fans youcan hear Tony and the crowd
yelling.

Speaker 2 (11:25):
I'm yelling fuck him up.

Speaker 3 (11:28):
So the pitcher didn't punch him right away.
As Tony explained, he went tothe base.
He started walking back fromthe base.
The pitcher walked towards himand he said something and then
the dude kind of pushed him andthen the pitcher swung at him.
It sounds like he got him out,though actually Not a walk, but
same story.

Speaker 2 (11:46):
Oh yeah, you're right .

Speaker 1 (11:48):
They both did.

Speaker 2 (11:48):
They both did yeah.
So then them two get kicked out.
They both did.
They both did yeah, it was anexciting game.

Speaker 3 (11:52):
man Dude, those are the best ones.
It's like hockey, when it usedto be fun, where they used to
have fights.

Speaker 1 (11:58):
Oh, they still do.

Speaker 3 (12:00):
Not like they used to man, where fucking blood would
squirt out in the fucking glass.

Speaker 2 (12:05):
But I don't understand hockey.
It's like it's not thatcomplicated dude, but the fights
, the fights in hockey, they letthem go until someone hits the
ice, they go down that thereferees will come in.

Speaker 1 (12:20):
If you take a knee, the referees will come in and
stop the fight, but they allseem like they're like fake
fights well, they're wearingpads and they're on skates.

Speaker 3 (12:29):
I mean you can't get a good hard to try to get a good
punch off when you're on skates.

Speaker 1 (12:34):
You need a stance trying to dodge this punch when
you're on skates you're wearinga helmet and gloves.

Speaker 3 (12:38):
That's why they fucking hood you man.
They pulled their fuckingjersey over your head because
then they can start doing someuppercuts right to the chin.

Speaker 1 (12:45):
Yeah because you got like a fulcrum to pull in and
punch the pull punch.

Speaker 3 (12:49):
Yeah, you have some kind of leverage, so they let
these guys fight because it'sjust it's fists to like shoulder
90%.

Speaker 1 (12:56):
Like you might get a head shot but he's probably
wearing a helmet and maybe ashade over his face.
Like you're maybe catching himin the jaw.
If you get a perfect shot and Ithink the rule is the referee's
coming once you hit your knee?
Or anything hits the ground.

Speaker 3 (13:12):
Right, I think that's amazing.
I think it should be with everysport.

Speaker 1 (13:14):
Yeah, let the two fucking rub it out and then they
just engulf.

Speaker 2 (13:18):
And then they each got to sit in the box, just beat
the shit out of each other.
They got to sit in the box fortwo or five minutes.

Speaker 3 (13:23):
Go ahead for the woman's tease bitch.
They're both grabbing balls andthrowing them at each other.
How many balls you got,motherfucker?

Speaker 1 (13:28):
I think they do that because if you don't let them
fucking box it out or whatever,get their shit done, then
they're literally gonna did.
You see the one guy wholiterally kicked someone in the
neck with his skate and killed?

Speaker 3 (13:40):
him.
That was that was from HappyGilmore.
No, this happened, dude.

Speaker 2 (13:45):
No, remember me, I'm the guy who hit the guy in the
other guy hit the guy and theother guy with the face, with
the skate.

Speaker 3 (13:51):
He's like the only guy that got they got, uh,
kicked out of a hockey match forstabbing someone with the skate
.
No, he, uh, you're right, it init's.
They say it wasn't intentional.
You know, his leg lifted in theair and he slid his throat,
yeah that's fucking crazy butyeah, they let you fight
Normally in baseball.

Speaker 1 (14:12):
they're trying to fucking stop it immediately.
There's nothing better thanthat the batter getting hit and
he looks down at the ground andthrows his bat down and slowly
half walks towards first baseand then runs towards the
pitcher's mound and it's likefucking ready to go.
Gloves are thrown, the bench isclearing out.

Speaker 3 (14:31):
You got one of the best games.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
There's so many people in the bench too.
It's like squirting a fuckingant farm with water.

Speaker 2 (14:38):
It was like one second in where, like what
happened, and you just see 80people on the field all
wrestling.

Speaker 1 (14:45):
There are so many players on a baseball team.

Speaker 3 (14:48):
That's so funny, though, that his name is Siri.
It sounds so weird when theannouncer's guy's like Siri
walks to the first base and thenSiri.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
All you hear is just phones going.
I'm gonna help you, like theysay it too many times, to try to
fuck with people.

Speaker 3 (15:06):
Everyone from home watching their phone goes off if
you have actually no.
Siri's got a lot smarter now.
She only responds to your voiceif you connect it correctly.
You guys don't know.
You have fucking androids, youlittle bitches.

Speaker 1 (15:19):
Yeah, we got real phones so, uh, when you're going
to these games, you're payingfor parking, getting the closest
parking you can possibly get oris that?
Yeah, so you're paying like $30to park.

Speaker 2 (15:29):
So I'm going to tell you a little secret.
All right, don't be tellinganybody.

Speaker 1 (15:33):
We've got one of the world's most foremost
distributed podcasts.
And you're not going to expectpeople to know, but go on.

Speaker 2 (15:43):
So we went to Tuesday's game, right.

Speaker 1 (15:45):
In an underclosed city.

Speaker 2 (15:47):
And I took my mom.
I took my mom, her husband, mybrother's kid, my kid and my
wife and I brought my other kidtoo and we tailgated beforehand
with my mom.
My mom wanted to make some foodand a grill and shit, but my

(16:08):
mom's handicapable.
Okay, she's got the littlehanging tag from her.

Speaker 3 (16:16):
Okay, explain, handicapable for me.

Speaker 2 (16:19):
Well, that's like when you're handicapped, but you
really don't need a scooter.

Speaker 3 (16:24):
So you just use it to bypass the system.
Get close parking.
Then you walk out and dojumping jacks and backflips.
Yeah, I can park wherever Iwant.

Speaker 2 (16:33):
Well, my mom got her handicap tags when she fell and
broke both of her arms.

Speaker 1 (16:39):
Don't they expire?

Speaker 2 (16:41):
Probably not in her lifetime.
So do they have an?

Speaker 3 (16:46):
expiration date on them?
I don't know.
Or did you show the handicappicture?
No expiration date.

Speaker 1 (16:51):
I think they sell with the car.

Speaker 3 (16:54):
I saw this car.

Speaker 2 (16:56):
You're good to go.
She wanted to park next to usso she gave me her other
handicap tag.
She's got more than one.

Speaker 1 (17:06):
See, that's now you're.

Speaker 2 (17:08):
That's what I said.
Don't tell no one, these arewhite now you're.
That's why I said don't tellthem.

Speaker 1 (17:10):
These are white lines .
You're crossing dude.

Speaker 3 (17:11):
I know gray lines you're telling about 16 people.

Speaker 2 (17:14):
You could just tell the person you want to park next
to your hand, but luckily itwas during the week game so
there were only like eight, ninehundred people there, so we
were front row parking and itreally didn't get much past us
in that lot.

Speaker 1 (17:31):
In the handicapped prime lot there?
Yeah, of course not.

Speaker 2 (17:34):
Only like maybe 100 cars.

Speaker 3 (17:36):
Did you walk out of the stadium with a gimp?

Speaker 2 (17:41):
No, I full drug a leg just behind me.

Speaker 3 (17:47):
It was like step drag stumbleol just so you know
there's no questions asked.
You don't have to.
You don't like confrontation,so you didn't want to be jogging
to your car.
You're gonna take the handicapsticker off and be like you know
, just the way it is, yeah life.

Speaker 2 (18:03):

You're making me go off amemory.
Yeah, like 25 years ago at theeagles club, it was a black guy
versus black guy, a white guyversus a black guy.

Speaker 3 (22:14):
There were two latinos that went at it at the
eagles club.
It must have been big then,because Eagles is huge in
Wisconsin.

Speaker 1 (22:21):
Well, you set up a ring and then people on stands
around the ring.
Yeah, but Eagles is huge.

Speaker 3 (22:26):
No, it's not the Eagles club.
The Rave, the Eagles is giantEagles club.
It's not giant.
The Rave has four differentplaces.

Speaker 1 (22:35):
When was the last time you were in?

Speaker 3 (22:38):
there, I've played everywhere but the Eagles.
You think that's the biggestclub.
No, no, in the Rave, of course,they have the Underground Rave.

Speaker 1 (22:46):
They have the Rave Bar, they have the actual Rave.
The Eagles Ballroom is stillnot that big, I'll bet you.
Its capacity is probably 2,400people.

Speaker 3 (22:55):
No way.
Yeah, that's an astounding show.

Speaker 1 (22:57):
You put seats in there.
I'll bet you, the capacity is1,800.

Speaker 3 (23:00):

thing?
Like 20 years ago, yeah.

Speaker 2 (23:32):

All right, fine.
How many people capacity.

Speaker 1 (23:41):
You were close.
2,400, I said standing, I think, or 22.

Rave bar fits 500.
I've never filled the rave hall.
Rave hall fills 1800 in the the.
The basement fills a thousand.
I filled almost the basementbefore.
I thought there was way morethan that.
Okay, never mind, I'm wrong.
Sorry I'm.

Speaker 1 (24:16):
